Hi there,
New to all of this and have a question about timing, which I'd be grateful for some advice on. Due to terrible peri-meno symptoms my doctor has advised Estrogel/Utrogestan. I was planning on starting estrogel on day one of my period (still having periods, sometime every month but often every 15 days). My plan is this:
Start estrogel, one pump per day, on day one of period
Start Utrogestan, 100mg to start with, from day 15 until day 28
My questions are:
1. What happens if you get a period on say day 15 - do you still proceed with the Utro? Doesn't this mess things up?
2. What happens when you stop Utro on day 28, do you geta bleed then?
3. Regardless of 1 and 2, do you take Estrogel every day?
4. Is it correct to start Estrogel on day one of my period?
5. Are there benefits to taking Utro every day, 100mg, rather than on days 15-28?
Sorry for all the questions but I'm confused and my doctor said to just start taking it! Of course as soon as I put down the phone I then had loads of questions and this group seems so much more knowledgeable than my doc, frankly, as so many of you have lived through this.
Thanks a million for reading.
